Tasting notes

Very pale yellow in colour with green highlights, brilliant in aspect. The first nose is highly expressive. It is reminiscent of herbs such as fennel, lemon verbena and wormwood along with more floral notes such as hawthorn blossom. The nose increases in complexity, developing notes of lemon and litchi. Starts off soft on the palate boasting tanginess and flavours of candied lemon, litchi and notes of fresh rose. The finish features notes of green peppercorns.
